Yeah. So here's a couple of things about it. One, I put together, as I've said, two budgets with the governor. I know how challenging that is. Legislative Fiscal Bureau had said that, you know, you do all this stuff and, you know, it's likely you start the next biennium with a $3 billion deficit. That's a challenging way to start the next budget. The other aspect of it is we're on June 16th today. This is a surplus that they say will exist next June 30, one year and two months from now.
